Whitney Walker in her classroom.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 11, 2020) A school year like no other became the perfect chance for Whitney Walker to take her social studies classroom to the next level at Lafayette High School in Lexington.
Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Walker’s classroom had been a marvel. Nearly every inch was covered with souvenirs, maps, retro toys, puppets, folk art, kitsch and political signage from both sides of the aisle. Life-size cut outs of presidents and celebrities like Taylor Swift, George Washington, Marilyn Monroe and Jar Jar Binks lined the walls. Flags and campaign signs adorned the ceiling.
